Your money (the really important bit)

Once inspected and valuation agreed, we pay you on-the-spot in cash or EFT.

You only hand over the keys when your money is either in your hands or clear in your account.

Your needed documents

Drivers licence and Registration certificate.

Note: If either has been lost, misplaced, please call to discuss alternative photo identification and proof of ownership.

Your financed vehicle

Your financier loves you paying interest but that’s rarely in your interest. We payout every kind of loan agreement and here’s what’s needed from your end.

Contact your financier and request a current payout letter which includes the entire loan balance and the date which the amount is current to.

Ensure the payout letter contains the method of payment such as Bpay or bank details.

Note: The total amount owing to the lender will need to be finalised at the point of sale.

Your curiosity about us

We have provided an alternative means of selling to Bendigo and rural Victorians for almost two decades. Beginning as a moderate sized used car business in Melbourne’s northern suburbs in 1986, we recognized an unfulfilled need for people wanting to sell a car quickly and without the headaches associated with private sales.

There’s no way this is not going to sound like chest beating but this URL, registered in 1997, was the worlds first cash for cars online selling facility.

Simply we are a collective of licenced dealers who offer to come to you and buy your car for a fair trade value, nothing more and nothing less.

Over the past twenty years, our service has expanded from its humble beginnings in Melbourne to include South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, ACT and Western Australia. And of course, we service all areas within those states.

Our strengths are simple, we are a national foundation and have been doing this longer than any competitor. We come you, obligation free, anywhere in your state and pay in cash or clear funds prior to collecting your vehicle. We don’t offer retail prices but a fair, and in cases, a better offer than any competitor.

Your guarantee

This is the bit that makes us unique. We guarantee that once a valuation is confirmed we will pay you in cash or clear funds before you hand over the keys. Many of our competitors claim to pay ‘ instant cash ‘ with images of $100 notes scattered across their home pages.

We are upfront about your offer and can’t always guarantee to satisfy your expectations, however we don’t provide ‘ bait ‘ offers in order to entice you then hit you with the real appraisal once you are vulnerable.

Integrity and honesty are the cornerstones of our business model and given we have survived the test of time we think this policy has served us well!

Thanks for taking the time to read and we look forward to doing business with you.

Where we buy

Just think how easy it would be to have clear payment without leaving your home or office, that’s what we do and at speed!

Your Bendigo Team Cars Wanted

My sister recommended carswanted.com.au and although she’s no rocket scientist, she gets a 10/10 for this one. Your online valuation tools work a treat and I received the offer via sms in seconds. I called Warren to arrange an inspection and he filled in the blanks. Payment was in cash and on the spot. Very happy and will pass your details to mates and family. Big pat from me!

East Bendigo VIC 3350

Last weekend I insisted my wife join me in watching V8 supercars. I truly think your commercial was the only image she took any notice of. Anyway we had been trying unsuccessfully to sell our 2008 FG ute on carsales so she insisted we list it on your site. Although your offer was slightly lower than my expectation, it was in an acceptable range. The Carswanted consultant, Dave, was a real champ and by Monday afternoon we were paid and my beloved ute gone. Fantastic service and will spread the word!

Box Hill VIC 3128

Having been in the motor industry for over 20 years I didn’t expect to realise your online valuation. Happily I can report that not only did I receive within a few hundred dollars of the online offer, the deal was done in record time and your consultant offered to lodge the VicRoads forms as well. First class performance and I’ll be sure to recommend carswanted to work colleagues and friends, a refreshing hassle free selling experience.
